Thank God we got confirmation.
With 15 days of the year left, Nacon has confirmed that its open world Terminator game, Terminator Survivors, won't be released in 2025 as planned.
I'm sorry.
In its first update since the game's last delay to 2025, the publisher confirms that Survivors will no longer release in early access and that the plans for cooperative multiplayer in the game are also axed.
and a letter to fans creative director marco point uh claimed that the decisions came after months of internal testing discussions with the players i'm having trouble reading it because i've never i don't i did not know about this game and i like terminator a lot and so i'm seeing a trailer over here for terminators and i that gets my attention because i like terminator it kind of looks like our graders it wouldn't this is what i would expect from you know terminator oh there it is shit that's terminator right this guy's dead
Oh, damn, there it is.
T-800 stomping in.
Damn, how did I miss this?
Well, I guess because it got announced in 2024.
Oh, that's all it was.
That's how I missed it.
Okay.
Quote, though we've been quiet, we haven't been idle.
This year has been productive, and we've made important progress across all fronts, from world design and combat to narrative depth and atmosphere.
After months of internal testing, discussions with players and fans of the license, we came to the conclusion that to give you an authentic Terminator experience with the best possible shooting and exploration gameplay, we would have to put aside cooperative multiplayer.
We know this may come as a disappointment, but we believe it is the right creative direction for the uncompromised vision of the world after Judgment Day.
He continued, we've also had to overhaul our release plans.
Instead of launching in early access, we want your first steps in the wasteland to be a complete and polished experience.
You might have guessed already, but that means Terminator Survivors won't be launching in 2025.
